New Macs and some cool AI tools Nov 03, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, I will catch up on some news items and discuss some excellent tools I've been using.

I share my opinion on Apple's release of new hardware with M3 chips, noting that while the performance is impressive, it may be reaching a plateau of incremental improvements. I discuss the challenge of convincing users to upgrade their devices when their current ones perform well.

Additionally, I mention that Apple is raising the prices of some services as a strategy to boost profits.

I also share my experience with AI tools like Developer Duck for code refactoring and documentation, as well as MacWhisper for podcast transcription. I highlight the benefits of these tools and encourage developers to embrace and learn from them.

My thoughts on Swift bindings in Godot Oct 15, 2023

Show notes

As an avid Swift user, I wanted to sit down and look at the options for using Swift with the Godot engine. Let me start by saying it's early days, but I tried a course and then did my own exploration that I want to share in this episode for those that might be considering using this approach.

Show notes

Prakash Chandran is the CEO and co-founder of Xano.com. A no-code solution. Prakash and I discuss developers' role in no-code solutions and how AI plays a role in the development cycle. No code does not mean no developers. It should be viewed as an assistant handling repetitive tasks while simplifying the business logic.
